Hi,

I need some assistance in setting up the time correction function within the Alpine H701 processor. I am running a 3-Way active front stage with 2 subwoofers in the rear of my vehicle.

I would like to know how I can compute the time correction for each individual speaker (i.e. what distances I should measure, formulas etc)

I would rather not purchase the RUX 701 controller unit with time correction microphone.

You help is appreciated,

J

Send me your email through PM and I can email you an excel sheet that calculates it automatically.

You don'e need a mic. You can measure the distance from the left to your left speakers to you left ear and right to right. Then convert that to time buy divideing it into the speed of sound (1125ft ft/s). But really all you need to do is is find a track with a good center image and tune by ear.

Just remember, you dont need to use TA on the speaker that is furtherest from you. That is your referance point for al the other speaker.

^^^^
That is just a general guidline. You can get more involved, but doing the above will get you started.

If you want, just head down to the SQ show tomorrow in Mississauga and I will help you set it up. Just look for the Silver 2000 Dodge Neon.

What type of vehicle are you driving, is it the X5?

reganj

Possibly.

Hey Avidedtr, I see your lurking. I'm trying to configure a good preset for Pink Floyd. What crossovers would you recommend? The singers got a relatively deep voice and I'm finding the stage falls sometimes.

AAAAA - sheet worked great - I've got a perfectly centered front image.

What slopes should I use for sub-base, 6 or 24?

Thrill_House

24 seems a little high, the 701 allows you to do 6, 12, 18 and 24 if im not mistaken. I would try it on 12 and see how that sounds. What frequency do you currently have it crossed over at?

Jordan, Play with your xover points until you are satisfied. It's probably dropping because the 6's are playing too high. Turn off your 6's listen to the 4's alone with the L1Pros then start your crossover highpass at 250 and go down from there. Don't go any lower then 125hz at 24 db cause you could damage the L4.
Turn your 6's back on and drop the low pass to 100 make sure your high pass doesn't go down below 60hz at 24db. try up to 160 to 200 on the low pass and see if that helps. My guess is once you get the right frequency try a differnet low pass slope on the L6's and see if it drops your stage.

Try this
L1 PRo 5.6K to 20k
L4 125hz @ 24db to 5.6k @ 24 db
L6 70hz @24db to 140hz @ 24db
Sub 70hz @ 18db
